Sunday, May 29, 2005 0 comments Post a Comment well one of those i'mbloggingforthesakeofblogging blogs. i've got time to kill. noone in particular i'll like to talk to online. and i'm done with my 3rd story (dennis> yup yup pretty quick huh). i really intended to sleep early tonight. Really. i swear. (Cross my buns and hot i bite) but good ol' zzy borrowed his sista's kinokuniya card (which entitles buyers to a not-10-but-TWENTY percent discount on all books. deadline 1st June.) for me so i've gotta go collect it from him in about *checks watch... 30 minutes... its 10:20pm btw*. Normally it'll make me grouchy when my sleeping plans are thwarted but i'm thinking about the delicious books i'll have on my hand by the end of tomorrow. *maniacal grin* thanks good ol' zzy! (very worthwhile isn't it? the tangible 20% discount in exchange for my forgiveness. *evil chuckle*) well that's the price people have to pay when they STAND ME UP. okay waittt a min. do you say 'stand me up' or 'stood me up' in this case? but 'stood me up' sounds REALLY wrong. but on the other hand, stand me up sounds either 1) very cheesy or 2) very perverse. uh. nevermind. on album promotion : please go and get Chen Qi Zhen's compilation album. exceedingly superior pop music. and if you have like $6 petty cash left , skip one of those taka food court meals and get leehom's recent album (C.I.). on album purchase : still have to get Beck ("GET BACK" hurhurhur. *nudges zhao in beerbellied drunkard sense* punsy.) and Jiang Mei Qi's latest album. the weekend was awfully long. this is a fresh complaint. you never ever hear anyone say their weekends are too long do u? but yes mine was. i had NOONE asking me out. NOWHERE TO GO [weeps beside jj ,"wo men jiu shi mei ren ai" , jumps up and dances hen-hen-ai]. I basically msn-ed day in day out while doing some writing and read when i had too much of the pc glare. i believe extensive exposure to pc glares can cause migraine and insomnia. i'm having a bit of that now. i'm an addict! *chants* he'saddictedtonicotinepatches met up the class on friday. erm. okay wait. i met up with yeok hui and muying on friday. [ah... now you know why i got my kinokuniya card. :) ] well its jus GREAT to see yeok n mu again. FOR AGES i tell u. i havent seen yeok for AGES. since like last yr's maf. which is a good 7 mths! even be4 i leave for China. TELL ME WHY I HAVE SUCH FRENS FOR. *grumbles* okay aniwae, its really quite cute to see how we all get together and within 3 min of warmup we turn into JC-mode again. Ridiculous. You should see how muying was 38-ing the NYDC waiter. and not forgetting a stroll by the EspBay and having nostalgia-soaked chats and from time to time, exclamations or sighs along the line of "we're-so-old" and "i-miss-those-days". well said it once and said it again and shall say it as and when i like, those were the best days in my life. [get here - oleta adams plays in the background] awwwwww. bad weather. flu in recovery. bad skin. skin in intense treatment [ie washing twice a day with my lousy Biore and avoid squeeeeezing pimples. bah.] WHY the june hols. grumble. i can't go back hc to do my studying. Yu lao shi and Su lao shi are such wonderful ppl :) great teachers. so knowledgable i feel stupid beside them. the gems of hc. who cares bout faculty names sounding like spaceships or the influx of unfamiliar-familiar faces (tchs teachers) in hc. just leave the antiques intact . hoho. time to go get my card! 5/29/2005 10:13:00 PM
